Today Patrick and I picked up photos at Wolf Camera. We stopped at Starbuck's to look at the photos, and I burned my tongue on the soy grande caramel macchiato I ordered. We then shopped in the Haight. I found some jeans at the Gap, and Patrick found a bag to carry his laptop. Patrick found The Nature of Alexander by Mary Renault for $1.00 at a used book store. We had lunch at Best of Thai Noodle, which was a rather ordinary experience except for the annoying noise of the chef clanging his spatula against the frying pan every ten seconds to knock food off the spatula. We napped. Dinner with Sam and John at Sam's place. We had Chinese cabbage salad, Chinese barbecued chicken, Chinese pork, stir-fried bittermelon, steamed broccoli, rice with shiitake mushrooms, white flesh peaches, fortune cookies, and cookies from Ambrosia.
